FANCAST: Batman Beyond

FANCAST: Batman Beyond

"And for all that fierce exterior, I've never met anyone who cared as deeply about his fellow man as Bruce Wayne. Except maybe you."

Hope Lies Beyond

Directed by Darren Aronofsky
Written by Paul Dini




Dean Geyer is Terry McGinnis / Batman

He looks the part, but other than that, he's a pretty good actor. He took on the role of the mentee, and displayed some MMA skills in Never Back Down 2 and works in the security unit of Terra Nova, under Commander Taylor. Combine those roles and you get something that looks kinda like Terry McGinnis.

Ed Harris is Bruce Wayne

I've never seen Harris suggested for old Bruce, and I really don't understand why. He has a very strong presence, looks the part more than anyone else I can think of, and has that deep, monotone voice. My only complaint would be his height. Standing at 5'9 though, he's not any shorter than some of the favorites for this role, such as Michael Keaton.

Willem Dafoe is The Joker

Dafoe is an incredible character actor, that has shown time and time again that he can play maniacal as well as anyone. He also has the most wicked smile I've ever seen.

John Slattery is Derick Powers / Blight

As a big Mad Men fan, Slattery was the first to come to mind when casting Blight. He's got that corrupt buisnessmen attitude to him. I thought this was an original choice, but then I realized Mr Murdockk beat me to the punch.

Helen Mirren is Commissioner Gordon

Mirren is one badass old lady. That makes her perfect for Commissioner Gordon 2.0

Kat Graham is Max Gibson

When I picture her as Max, I think of her role as Bonnie in The Vampire Diaries. She could definitely channel some aspects of that role into this one.

Shay Mitchell is Dana Tan

Shay is a rock solid actress, and has the perfect look for Dana.

Luke Goss is Shriek

Goss is a great action star, who oozes villainy and is no stranger to CBMs.

Vincent Karthesier is Ira Billings / Spellbinder

He comes across as intelligent, and is a relatively adaptable actor, who can go from timid to engraged in the blink of an eye.

Winona Ryder is Inque

Winona knows the role of the femme fatale well enough, and is best in such roles, in my opinion. She could own this role with ease.

Lori Loughlin is Mary McGinnis

Loughlin is age appropriate, looks enough the part, and is comfortable in the motherly role. Why not?

Jack Coleman is Warren McGinnis

Coleman has played the father to a "troubled" teen a few times now, and has pretty much mastered it.

Taraji P Henson is Amanda Waller

She's a tremendously talented black actress, and based on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, she could play Waller old and young.

Louis Hunter is Charlie "Big Time" Bigelow

I've been watching The Secret Circle, and I've found myself hating on this actor, or his character at least. He's a pompous jerk-off, and he's very easy to hate. He's perfect for Big Time pre-mutation.

Henry Rollins is Mad Stan

Rollins IS Mad Stan. End of.

Sebastien Foucan is Stalker

Maybe not the world's greatest actor, but he is one of the founders of parkour and the creator of free running, and that would make for some sweet action scenes. You may know him from Casino Royale or The Tournament

Ed Harris would be awesome as Bruce Wayne. He is a great actor. Very good and anything involving Henry Rollins is outstanding.

Dude, this was so legit! I didn't see a thing wrong with any of it, your pick for Terry would be perfect, especially now that some of the more common choices (Milo Ventimiglia and Ian Somerhalder) are getting older.

I have only seen your Terry pick in the few scenes hes had in Terra Nova, he seems alright but I still like Sean Faris for Terry.

Ed Harris would be badass as old Bruce.

I have never watched Mad Men but I liked Slattery in Adjustment bureau.

the rest are great.

Nice cast! It's really good actually, I like your Terry choice. I think Sean Farris would be a better Terry though.

Amanda Waller should be older. Other than that this is an excellent cast. Keep up

I've been looking for a decent fan cast of Batman Beyond lately, but I'm surprised to find this impressive one! Aside of some less original picks like Harris, Mirren, and Dafoe (no arguing though; they could be perfect for the roles), this is a very great fan cast. Loving your picks for Terry (especially since it's a very original one - been tired of some same faces picked for the role!), Max, Dana, Stalker (liked him in Casion Royale despite of him not in for a big role), though my favorite is still your pick for Warren - Coleman really deserves it. The rest are really awesome as well, though your Waller could be a little older...but make-ups can do, lol. Can't help but giving a thumb up there. :) Ever thinking of adding Justice League Beyond into this too?

Personally,i love ,your choice ,but i am not so sure Taraji P Henson because Waller need older actress.

Finally, a good Batman Beyond cast! not perfect, but still good!
I thought of Dafoe as Joker before, but something seems a bit off about the combination to me, so I've avoided using that choice.

@alucard365: Right on, man.

@TheSoulEater: What would you change?

@Jolt17: Thanks, but I thought Harris was pretty original. I've never seen it before anyway.

@ACira: I don't know. Seems like a good fit to me.

@ncreb: Thank you!

Great cast!:) Everyone fits in their roles perfectly.

Just needs a director and writer and its ready to go!;)

My vote goes to Alex Proyas or Neill Blomkamp (District 9)

Great cast, I am not the biggest fan for ed as Bats, but I can also see it working with some type of hair added on top and he has a great voice for it. Also I think Winona Ryder is an over rated actress and probably a little to old for that role, but other than that it seems pretty perfect.

I always thought they were going to make Max the next Robin in that show but it never happened.

Arrow Pretty sure I've seen him for older Bruce several times in the past, but that could just be me I'm sure...anyway still, ever thinking of adding the era's Justice League (the Justice League Beyond I'm talking about) into this too? Should be sweet. :)

Very well done!

@Jolt16: Hmm.. I'm not sure. Although, Now that I think about it, There are some there I'd like to cast. Like Kai-Ro (Green Lantern). I think Eli Snyder would be perfect.

@DDD: Thank you. Means a lot. (;
